Review: Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid (1969)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 3, 2017
Despite my general reluctance to say that the Western in its classical form was on the way out, it’s hard not to make such an assertion looking at the landscape of the late 1960s. The Wild Bunch is a common marker of the seismic shift leading to the complete obliteration of the classic wester read more

Park Row (1952)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 30, 2017
It’s no secret that Sam Fuller cut his teeth in the journalism trade at the ripe young age of 18 (give or take a year) and so Park Row is not just another delicious B picture from one of the best, it’s a passion project memorializing the trade that he revered so dearly. It’s also h read more

McLintock! (1963)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 28, 2017
Apparently the name McLintock doesn’t come with the letter T. At least that’s the sense you get when the townsfolk send a salutation to the estimable cattle baron G.W. McLintock (John Wayne). Those who do pronounce that T are either out of towners, educated people, or probably the folks read more

I Remember Mama (1948)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 25, 2017
Initially, I Remember Mama comes off underwhelmingly. It’s overlong, there’s little conflict, and some of the things the story spends time teasing out seem odd and inconsequential at best. Still, within that framework is a narrative that manages to be rewarding for its utter sincerity in read more

Dunkirk (2017)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 23, 2017
Upon being thrown headlong into Christopher Nolan’s immersive wartime drama Dunkirk, it becomes obvious that it is hardly a narrative film like any of the director’s previous efforts because it has a singular objective set out. It’s economical (shorter than many of most recent effo read more

Morroco (1930)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 22, 2017
Before the exoticism of Casablanca, Algiers, or even Road to Morroco, there was Josef Von Sternberg’s just plain Morocco but it’s hardly a run-of-the-mill romance. Far from it. Although it involves soldiers, it’s also hardly a war film but instead set against a backdrop that presen read more

The Whole Town’s Talking (1935)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 19, 2017
Comic mayhem was always supercharged in the films of the 1930s because the buzz is palpable, the actors are always endowed with certain oddities, and the corkscrew plot lines run rampant with absurdities of their own. Penned by a pair of titans in Jo Swerling and Robert Riskin, The Whole Town’ read more

Review: Pickpocket (1959)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 16, 2017
Pickpocket is an intricately staged, truly intimate character study from the imitable Robert Bresson solidifying itself as one of his greatest works. As was his practice, Bresson took Martin LaSalle, a non-actor to be his leading protagonist. The Uruguayan-French actor sports gaunt, rather severe fe read more

Shoot the Piano Player (1960)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 13, 2017
Shoot The Piano Player begins thrillingly with a car chase. The man being pursued flees down a street corner, his assailants disappear into the night, and he subsequently bounces off a streetlight like an idiot. The man who brings him back up on his feet proceeds to regale him with stories about ho read more
